Hi! Welcome to That’s So Chronic! Today, it’s all about Crohn’s Disease with Claire Chitham. You might recognise her as Waverley on Shortland Street, Aurora on Outrageous Fortune, or more recently as Penny on TVNZ’s Fresh Eggs.

In this episode Claire talks about what it was like to be diagnosed with Crohn’s at only 13 years old, a hospitalisation while working on Shortland Street that changed her life and inspired a lifestyle change, and what health means for her.

...Also, at the end she even gives us a little insider info on her upcoming book. Iiii know! Very exclusive!
